My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins
Chapter 177: Was Ernest Pursuing Her?
Harold, who was at the other end of the phone, seemed to be busy with something and his breath was heavy.
But Florence had no time to care about this, “Mr. Brooks, something bad happened to Ernest. Please come here as soon as possible.”
“What’s wrong with him?”
“I don’t know. But he looks really bad. Come here quickly, please.” Florence urged him anxiously, her voice full of worries.
Harold seemed to realized that it was urgent and said hastily, “Don’t be anxious, Flory. I’ll be right there.”
After finishing the words, he stood on his feet and changed his clothes and then ended the call.
After hanging up the phone, Florence walked to the bathroom.
“Ernest Hawkins, hold on, Harold will arrive soon.”
But only the sounds of running water could be heard.
Standing at the door of the bathroom, Florence paid attention to the sounds inside in worries, fearing that something bad would happen to Ernest.
Florence felt more confused.
Ernest looked good before going out of the bedroom. When learning that Charlotte had come back, he came to find her, yet he was in such a state when coming back after a short while.
What had happened during this period of time?
Florence subconsciously landed her gaze on the ointment on the dresser and pondered: could it be that Collin came again and framed Ernest?
Why had happened to Ernest when he was downstairs?
Florence was lost in her thoughts and couldn’t calm down herself. She didn’t realize that she was quite worried about Ernest.
Harold arrived after ten minutes.
But Florence felt like several hours had passed. When hearing the footsteps, she hurriedly walked to the door and opened the door for Harold.
“Oh, you finally arrive. Ernest is in the bathroom. Please have a look at him.”
“Bathroom?”
